Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
8 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
6 ounces egg noodles
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth. Add salt and pepper. Bring the broth to a boil.
Return the browned chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Add egg noodles to the pot and cook according to package directions, usually 8-10 minutes, until tender.
Stir in fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot.
Notes
For a lighter broth, you can use low-sodium chicken broth.
You can substitute other noodles like ramen or udon if desired.
This soup freezes well. Let it cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
This recipe is a great option for weeknight dinners, offering a quick and satisfying meal.
